Dust and Green Light
Style: Folk duet

[Verse 1]
Dust lifts from the heavy page
Under a green and steady light
I watch it settle, slow and strange
And think of you, still, every night

[Chorus]
Alys, you are the calm I chose
Not gold, not glass, just true and near
No malice in you, only grace
Alys, it's you I want right here

[Verse 2]
Some nights the words won't hold their shape
I lose my place, I lose the thread
But you stay steady on the page
Of every quiet thing I've said

[Pre-chorus]
I'm not one for grand old speeches
Or promises dressed up to shine
But something in this hush is reaching

[Chorus]
Alys, you are the calm I chose
Not gold, not glass, just true and near
No malice in you, only grace
Alys, it's you I want right here

[Bridge]
No palace, just this room, this light
No chalice raised, just you and me
Whatever page we're standing on
Is where I've always meant to be

[Chorus]
Alys, you are the calm I chose
Not gold, not glass, just true and near
No malice in you, only grace
Alys, it's you I want right here

[Outro]
Let the dust rise where it will
You're the light still burning green
